Jyeshta masam or Jyeshta month is third month in traditional Telugu calendar followed in Andhra Pradesh. In 2020, Telugu Jyeshta masam begins on May 23 and ends on June 21. The same panchangam is also followed in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat.

The name of Jyeshta masam originated from the Nakshatra ‘Jyeshta’. As the Jyeshta nakshatram falls during Pournami or Full Moon day in this month, it is hence known as Jyeshta maasam. The next Telugu month is Ashada masam.
